Marvel has revealed plans to expand their universe with the release of their all-new Marvel Universe line. Like the Marvel Ultimates line of books, these new stories will be told outside of the regular Marvel Universe continuity. These new stories will target readers of all ages. The new line will launch with two new series, one focusing on the Marvel Avengers characters and the other on the Spider-Man universe titled MARVEL UNIVERSE: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 and MARVEL UNIVERSE: THE AVENGERS: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES #1.
According to Marvel's editor-in-chief, the all-new Marvel Universe line will feature stories that adult readers can easily share with their kids as the books are meant to be fun for children of all ages.
The Marvel Universe line of comics not only clearly lets fans know they’re in for great stories, but also lets parents know where to find great stories to share with their kids” said Axel Alonso, Marvel Comics Editor in Chief. “The Marvel Universe line also includes the best all-ages stories we’ve told recently and we’re bringing them to millions of new fans through ambitious new initiatives. So when you see the name Marvel Universe, you’ll know it stands for the best all-ages super hero storytelling in the world—in print and digital media!
We got our first look at the covers of the first issues if both series. You can check out the full solicits and cover art below. What do you think of this new line of Marvel books?
